Stationary actuating device to operate stationary coke oven doors

A device for closing of horizontal coke oven chambers of an oven bank or oven battery by means of coke oven doors closing in vertical direction, wherein

• the oven doors are installed at one side or at both sides of the horizontally arranged oven walls, and
• the oven doors are linked to a rope or a chain or a pulling device by means of which the doors can be pulled out towards the top from the closed into the opened position and be moved again by gravity force into the closed position,
• above the individual oven doors there are deflector rollers by means of which the traction force serving for pulling the ropes or chains is directed via these deflector rollers into a horizontal direction in the further course of the said ropes or chains and wherein a fastening or an actuating lever with a pull eye is situated at the end of the rope, wherein
• at least one gripping car is sitting above the oven door in a rail to be able to move said gripping car with a bilaterally arranged rope tackle in horizontal direction in parallel to the series of the coke oven battery walls encompassing the door, and
• the fixing device or the actuating lever including the pull eye at the end of the rope above the individual coke oven doors and thereby the rope engages into a downwardly directed cam mounted on the gripping car so that the rope is pulled or relieved and the coke oven door can be pulled up or let down with the horizontal movement of the gripping car.
